Popped into Lidl to get some milk, discovered these lights for 1.79. Thought they’d be worth a punt as I need some new bike lights. They’re actually very bright.
They aren’t specified as bike lights, but I think they’d be ideal for city cycling where you just need to be visible.
I wouldn’t think the front light would be powerful enough to light the way (say you were cycling down a none lit trail) but for the purpose of just being seen I think they perfectly adequate.
I bought two sets so I could pop a light on my bag etc

Got these a week or two back, they're excellent - I bought 2 packs and put them on either side of the front forks and seat stays. They're great for making you visible, but as the OP said you'll need a proper front light as well.

Got two sets as well, they are very good quality compared to what I bought from ebay so many times.

Hot - great price.
Similar in Aldi at the moment (albeit at a higher price) if you don't have a Lidl nearby. I can vouch for the brightness of the Aldi ones too.
OP, how do these Lidl ones attach? Can't see from the picture and wonder if that's why they're not described as bike lights.

I got some of these, the front lights in particular are very bright. Do what I do, put one on each side of your handle bars, switch on flashing, with delay between each one.. Viola cop bike!

You’ll be pleased to know I remembered the milk and I even bought a cheeky packet tangfastics

Haha, for £1.79?!
No they aren't, but they are excellent value and very bright. Much better than similar ones I've had previously
